My Pinwheel Wreath

Hello!  Welcome to a new week! I'm looking forward to next weekend....I love July 4th!  It's always been one of my favorite holidays....summer, long weekend, fireworks, cookouts...yep, it's all good!

So, in the spirit of the coming holiday, my project today is the ever so popular pinwheel wreath!  


My wreath is made using some of the contents from the June My Paper Pumpkin kit.  The box was so jam-packed full of goodies this month, there were enough supplies for multiple projects!

Did you notice the straws from the MPP kit?  I saw this done on another wreath (sorry, I don't remember who, but thanks for the cute idea), so I tried it as well.  Here are a couple close ups:

I flattened the straws and curled them around a pencil.  Everything is adhered to the wreath with a hot glue gun.

What about you?  Are you a My Paper Pumpkin subscriber?  Prepaid subscriptions are available for time periods starting with one month!  And today is the last day to sign up for my new subscriber special offers shown below.

Just Sayin' it's Gorgeous Grunge

Hello friends,  Here we are at the end of another busy week. My workshop is tomorrow and I'm so excited to share some new projects with my attendees!  Woohoo!  Typically you won't see my workshop projects here on the blog.  I try to keep them just for those who come to the workshops.  So next time, why not plan to check it out?

It's Friday, so that means it's time for another card from my very talented sister!  She's been a busy girl this past week so I have lots of new projects from her to share with you!  I love this one (well, acutally, I love them all!)  The Gorgeous Grunge set is one of my favorites.

Happy Blooming Birthday!

Hello!  It's Thursday!  One day closer to the weekend - and my next workshop!  Hooray!!!

Work was good yesterday....and so was the weather!  My DH grilled some tilapia for dinner last night...oh my, it was delicious! A girl could get used to this, good work, good weather, and great meal!

Today's card is my first with the new Flower Patch set.  I love this set!  I used only the stamps for this card, but there are some coordinating framelits available as well.    The framelits and the stamps are available as a bundle for 15% off.

Thoughts and Prayers in Blackberry Bliss

Happy Wednesday!  I had a good day at work yesterday.  I got a lot of clean up work done and it didn't rain during the day.....after 2.5 inches of rain over night Monday night!  We need a break please, Mother Nature!

My least favorite card to make is a sympathy card.  Because if I need a sympathy card, someone is hurting.  And that's not good.  The Thoughts and Prayers set is an oldie but goodie....and it makes a beautiful sympathy card.  I freshened it up a little using some of the new in colors.
